Merry Xmas to All and to All a Good Night

Christmas Tree in Amador

Yesterday we went to Amador and cut down a Christmas tree. This is our Meditz family tradition and it was so fun to share it with Lukas. Andrew and I spotted our tree and agreed it was the right one immediately. Then Andrew cut down the tree while I held Lukas in the Ergo. Afterwards we went wine tasting and then had dinner at Taste. Our days spent in Amador are always so enjoyable - we look forward to it every year.

Mr. Jordi/Jordikins/Gordo

Our dog Jordi had a bit of a shaky start with the baby but has quickly adapted to his new brother. When we first brought Lukas home from the hospital, Jordi was so excited he was shaking. Now he has accepted Lukas as part of the family. He rushes to Lukas' side when he cries if Mommy can't make it quickly enough and gives him a kiss or two every day. Jordi has been such a good sport about all the changes - he deserves some tasty bones in his stocking this year!

Playtime on a very cold day

Today we are stuck in the house - it's too cold to go outside! We are spending the day laying low at home. After a bath we had some fun with the new camera. Lukas is so smiley now and loves staring out the window while I shoot away.

Fun with Daddy

We have been really lucky that Andrew's work schedule has allowed him to be home a lot the first three months of Lukas' life. The two of them have bonded and are so content watching football on the couch together. Andrew is a really great Dad and does a lot to help with Lukas - changes his diapers, feeds him and puts him to bed each night since I'm usually too exhausted to do it myself.

Visit with Grande

My mom decided her grandma name should be Grande - a family name. We think it is pretty funny that such a petite person wants to be called "big" in Spanish! We had a great time at the Holiday Home Tour and then playing afterward. As you can see, Jordi is a little bit sad that grandma's lap has been taken.

Happy Holidays!

The holidays are so fun this year with Lukas here!
